My Latest Pitch: Outer Limits Figures!

OK, stop me if you've heard this one
before: I would love for some company to get the license to produce
figures based on the monsters, aliens, and others from The Outer
Limits. Wouldn't that be a cool
line of figures to collect?

The
way I see it, they could be done as poseable action figures, or even
just as PVC figures. Actually, I'd almost prefer the latter, because
then they could be done in sets, say about a half dozen figures per
set. Each set could come with a trading card for each figure, with
details about the episode it came from.

Just
imagine being able to put figures of David McCallum from “The Sixth
Finger” or even the “Zanti Misfits” or any of the other
memorable creatures from The Outer Limits
on your shelves?

Heck,
why not make the packaging for the figures work well for displaying
them, for those who don't want to take their toys out of the package?
Be innovative and make the boxes with some kind of mounting on the
back that could be used to place the box on nails or tacks, and you'd
really have something. Even cooler would be if when the boxes were
placed together just so, they created an extra bonus picture somehow
(or maybe it could be the sides of the boxes, I'll let the packagers
and licensors work out those details).

I
know, this is a short pitch, but when I was posting Outer Limits
cards for Cool Stuff (and yeah, it's possible that installment's
running after you see this) the thought came into my head, and I had
to get it out!
